Alas, as said Darell, it does not work with Bluez4
library, only Bluez3.
So the application is useless, it does not detect any bluetooth receiver
in the computer. I did not find any guide to easily port Bluez3 application
to Bluez4.
This blog entry from a couple of years ago describes the problem:

In fairness, that blog entry indicates why bluetooth support in KDE4 has been problematic
too.
In addition to the patch collection provided by Francois, this wiki provides some
information about what might be needed to fix any ported kdebluetooth code:

Are there any bluez alternatives?
Seems other wrapper utilities are working with bluez 4, both GTK and KDE4. Perhaps we will
need to study the code in some of those apps to port kdebluetooth to Trinity.
